Feel good moments, that will make you smile, that will make you dream… Moments to collect with your lover or your family. Only one rule: To make the most of these opportunities.
NB Because of the situation and the constant changes, please note that different establishments have had to close temporarily, or modify their operating hours. We suggest you contact them before leaving home.

From December 12 until the end of January, Coldbrook Park will be illuminated with hundreds of lanterns. Head out for a walk and perhaps seize some of the magic you’ll find here! Take this opportunity to visit the town’s charming Cœur villageois. Bring your cross-country skis and skates!
